Over the winter I will be pulling the engine out of my 1967 XR7 C code inorder to repair the rusted floor pan on the passengers side, install a/c, rebuild the transmission and the engine as well as redoing the engine compartment. I won't be doing any exterior body work this winter. Disc brakes either later this spring or next winter will of course be going on as well. My ultimate goal is a restomode that can be driven anywhere comfortibly, yet put back to stock without too much trouble. Being a C code I know there isn't any real collectors valve, but I still don't want to go too far.
This brings me to my first question about the engine. I was thinking of stroking it to a 347 and larger heads. Am I already crosssing the line? Any suggestions on a cam? The engine should be coming out this weekend, but I probably won't be making the final decision on how to rebuild it until February, so lots of time.
